Ryan Tubridy dropped yet another teaser this morning as public excitement reaches fever pitch ahead of next month's Late Late Toy Show.
And the Dubliner revealed to listeners of his cult RTE radio show that he's taking a week-long break to ensure he's in tip-top shape ahead of the big night.
"I'm not with you next week – I'm taking a few days to regroup with the Toy Show coming up," Tubs said this morning.
"It's going to be epic, and I really want to be match fit for it."
The 47-year-old – who lights up the airwaves five days a week – signalled his intent to "take a few days just to 'phew' – and give you a break from me.
"And no harm in that."
Tubridy also revealed his plans for the few days off, with the US presidential election – which will be held next Tuesday – leaving him audibly exhilarated.
"The election falls on Tuesday night, so I'm thinking of pulling an all-nighter, and going for it," said Tubs, sounding like a child ahead of Christmas morning.
"And maybe get a few beers in, and watch it through the night.
"Because it's too good – it's too historic – not to be watching on the hoof."
He even went as far as to urge Ireland's parents to allow their children to witness the historic event, which pits President Donald Trump against Democratic candidate Joe Biden.
"If you had a kid in TY, I'd say take the Wednesday off and watch it – watch history.
"Don't learn about it in 10 years, watch it now. It's too interesting."
But Tubridy was tight-lipped when it comes to issuing any prediction about which way the election might go, casting doubt over the accuracy of polling that puts Biden comfortably ahead of his presidential rival.
"Anyone I speak to about what's going to happen next Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, they're all – like myself – completely divided as to how it's going to go.
"Regardless of your politics, as a match, as a sport, no-one can predict it.
"I've lost all faith in the polling – I have no idea. I couldn't call it."
